Dried Meal Worms
Just to show you how much the Starlings like those dried Meal Worms.
Mind you as long as its edible they like anything.!!!

Nice pic major. They certainly scoff the ones I put out at a rate of knots - costing me a fortune! And I've still not got an image to match this!!

Lovely! Great pov, and background. Beautiful birds aren't they!

Do you soak the mealworms first? I've used them for Robins, with success of course, they'd do anything for a mealworm, but the Blackbirds learnt about them, and now they chase the Robin off....hmmmmmm :rolleyes:

Great shot! :toast:

Put boiling hot water on then first Dawn and leave them to soak for about 5-10mins.
They have got so used to them now that I only have to open the door and they are there hovering in the back ground.
